umm... I'm sure 3-Series just means it will be about the size of a BMW 3-series and says nothing about the name of the car.

I think the only reason they used the "Model S" name was so the next car would be logically called the "Model T," the EV for the masses (and the first car, the Roadster, starts with an R).

"Tesla’s chairman and CEO, Elon Musk, founded PayPal and a business called SpaceX that builds satellites for the US government."

Satellites? Someone needs to buy AutoCar a subscription to Aviation Week, or show them how to use Google.

I read it as different skateboard models off the S platform. Not an entirely new car ie the BlueStar,
